Since his arrival in Athens, Albin has produced offensive units that have consistently ranked among the top of the Mid-American Conference. He also has directed an offensive attack that has practically rewritten all of Ohio's passing records and single season scoring records.

This past season under Albin's watchful eye, Ohio's offensive attack averaged 379.4 yards per game and surpassed 400 yards of total offense in seven games during the 2013 campaign. The Bobcats closed the year with 4,932 yards of total offense.

The 2013 campaign also marked the final season of Ohio's most prolific offensive trio in school history as quarterback Tyler Tettleton, running back Beau Blankenship and wide Donte' Foster all concluded their respective collegiate careers.

Albin recruited all three players and all three players flourished in his offensive scheme. At the end of their respective careers, Tettleton, Blankenship and Foster accounted for over 25,000 yards of total offense and 128 touchdowns.

Tettleton finished his career at Ohio with 27 school records and once again passed for over 2,500 yards through the air. He is the only quarterback in school history to pass for over 2,500 yards in three-consecutive seasons.

Blankenship closed his senior campaign with 910 yards rushing and five touchdowns. He finished his career fifth on the all-time rushing list with 2,976 yards.

Ohio had seven games in which it surpassed 450 yards of total offense.

Albin's offensive unit played a major role in Ohio's 45-14 victory in the Advocare V100 Independence Bowl. In the win, the Bobcats' 556 yards of total offense served as an Independence Bowl record, while their 45 points tied the Bowl record. Following the game, Blankenship and Tettleton were named Co-Offensive Most Valuable Players of the Independence Bowl.

Ohio's 2012 offensive unit averaged over 30 points per game for the second straight season and the third time in the last six years. In addition, the Bobcats scored 40-or-more points in four different games.

He became the eighth running back in school history to rush for over 1,000 yards in a single season. Following the year, Blankenship was named All-MAC Second Team. Offensive lineman Skyler Allen and Eric Herman joined Blankenship on the All-MAC Second Team. Since taking over as offensive coordinator in 2005, Albin has coached 26 All-MAC players and All-Americans LaVon Brazill (2009) and Joe Flading (2011).

Tettleton once again posted a memorable season under Albin's direction as he passed for 2,844 yards and 18 touchdowns, while throwing just four interceptions in 12 games.

Under Albin's watchful eye, Tettleton re-wrote the Bobcats' single season record book in his first-year as a starting quarterback as he set 12 school standards, while becoming the first signal caller in program history to throw for over 3,000 yards. In addition, Tettleton accounted for 38 total touchdowns (28 passing and 10 rushing) and nearly 4,000 yards of total offense (3,960) en route to being named All-MAC Third Team.

The 2011 Ohio offensive unit also produced record-breaking performances from Brazill and Donte' Harden as the two combined to set eight single-season records. Brazill would go on to finish his career as the program's all-time leader for receiving yards (2,511) and receptions (189).
